A  CORDIAL  LETTER. 

San  Francisco,  Jan.  27,  1915. 

Fres.  John   L.  Roemer, 

Lindenwood  College  for  Women, 
St.    Charles,   Mo. 

My   Dear   President   Roemer: 

Upon  receipt  of  your  letter  this  after- 
noon 1  sent  the  following  night  letter 
which  you  will  have  received  before  this 
letter  arrives: 

June  30  named  as  "Lindenwood  Col- 
lege Day"  at  Exposition  as  per  your  re- 
quest of.  Jan.  23.  Suggest  you  would 
hold  meeting  in  Missouri  Building.  Re- 
ly on  me  and  the  support  of  the  Bureau 
in  your  plans.     Letter  will  follow. 

June  30  will  probably  be  observed  by 
Tacoma  and  the  California  School  for 
the  Blind,  but  they  will  in  no  way  inter- 
fere with  your  celebration.  A  celebra- 
tion it  should  be  in  very  truth.  We  shall 
be  honored  in  the  day,  and  we  hope 
large  plans  will  go  forward  for  making 
it  a  "red  fetter"  day  in  the  Fxposition 
life.  Education  and  educational  institu- 
tions are  to  have  a  larger  part  in  this 
more  than  in  any  other  exposition.  Col- 
lege and  University  alumni  organizations 
all  over  the  country  are  planning  for  re- 
unions here  in  San  Francisco.  Teach- 
ers will  come  by  the  thousands  for  the 
meeting  of  the  National  Educational  As- 
sociation and  the  International  Congress 
of  Education  in  August.  I  am  glad  in- 
deed that  Lindenwood  College  is  mak- 
ing such  an  aggressive  campaign  for  Its 
special  train  and  its  visit  here.  Linden- 
wood lias  a  worthy  past,  and  there  is 
no  question  about  its  future  with  such 
"boosters"  as  have  her  present  Inter- 
ests  at   heart. 

I  shall  hope  to  greet  you  personally 
here  at  the   Exposition. 

Yours   truly, 

JAS.   A.   BARR, 
Chairman    of   Congresses   and   Con- 
ventions.

OBJECTS    OF  THE   TRIP. 

Wednesday,  June  30,  has  been  official- 
ly designated  by  the  Panama-Pacific 
Exposition  as  "Lindenwood  College 
Day."  It  will  be  celebrated  in  a  fitting 
manner  by  Lindenwood  and  St.  Charles 
people  and  their  friends. 

By  no  means  the  least  important 
feature  of  Lindenwood  College  Day  will 
be  the  reunion  of  former  Lindenwood 
and  St.  Charles  people.  Undoubtedly 
hundreds  of  these,  who  expect  to  attend 
the  Exposition  anyhow,  will  make  it  a 
point  to  be  there  on  Lindenwood  Day. 
Scores  have  already  expressed  such  an 
intention. 

For  the  benefit  of  those  living  in  the 
East,  a  special  train,  to  be  known  as  the 
'Lindenwood  College  Special,"  will  be 
v  grated  from  St,  Louis,  with  stops  at 
Kansas  City,  Colorado  Springs  and  Salt 
Lake  City  en  route.  Lindenwood  and 
St.  Charles  people  and  their  friends  will 
make  up  this  special  train. 

Persons  living  elsewhere  than  at  St. 
Lcuis  or  St.  Charles  can  arrange  to  join 
this  train  at  any  stopping  point  if  they 
make  their  reservations   early  enough.

lowing: Round  trip  first-class  transpor-

the  party  and  returning  by  any  direct

cisco); room  (two  persons  to  room) 
for  seven  days,  with  breakfast,  at  Shat- 
tuck  Hotel,  Berkeley;  round  trip  fare 
each  day  between  Berkeley  and  San 
Francisco  or  the  Exposition;  admissions 
to  the  Panama-Pacific  Exposition  each

One  person  in  double  lower  berth, 
Pullman  Standard  sleeper,  to  San  Fran- 
cisco,  $142.50. 

No  tourist  sleepers  will  be  carried. 

RESERVATIONS— DEPOSITS. 

Many  reservations  have  already  been 
made.  It  is  the  desire  to  care  for  all 
friends  of  Lindenwood  and  St.  Charles 
who  want  to  go,  but  the  accommoda- 
tions are,  of  course,  limited.  Each  day 
people  are  realizing  more  and  more  the 
advisability  of  making  advance  reserva- 
tions for  the  California  trip,  and  the 
character  of  the  Lindenwood  Special  is 
making  a  broad  appeal.  Those  who  ex- 
pect to  go   should  not  delay. 

A  deposit  of  $5.00  per  ticket  is  re- 
quired when  reservations  are  made,  with 
a  second  payment  of  $10.00  to  be  called 
for  by  the  committee,  and  the  balance 
on  or  before  June  15. 

Make  all  checks  payable  to  Mrs.  Mary 
I.  McDearmon  and  mail  to  her  at  730 
Clara  avenue.   St.   Louis,    Mo. 

In  making  reservations  by  mail  state 
positivelv  what  accommodations  you  re- 
quire on  Pullman,  and  if  someone  else 
is  to  occupy  Pullman  berth  with  yon, 
give  name  of  the  other  occupant. 

LOS   ANGELES   SIDE  TRIP. 

IMPORTANT.— All  who  make  their 
first  and  second  payments  on  or  before 
May  15  will  be  given  a  free  side  trip  to 
Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego,  including 
Pullman  from  San  Francisco.  Complete 
details  later. 

The  limit  of  May  15  is  put  on  book- 
ings for  this  trip  because  it  is  necessary 
to  know  positively  how  many  are  going 
just  as  far  in  advance  as  possible  be- 
fore satisfactory  Pullman  arrangements 
can  be  made  over  what  is  certain  to  he 
a  tremendously  crowded  route. 


ANTLERS  HOTEL,  COLORADO  SPRINGS 


WHO  MAY  GO. 

The  Lindenwood  College  Special  is 
open  to  pupils  and  patrons  of  Linden- 
wood  and  their  friends,  and  to  the  peo- 
ple of  St.  Charles  and  their  friends. 


MEN    WANTED! 

Since  some  have  thought  that  the  trip 
was  open  only  to  ladies  the  Committee 
desires  to  state  specifically  that  men  are 
not  only  welcome — but  wanted! 

If  your  wife,  daughter  or  sister — or 
all  three — are  going  on  the  trip,  why 
not  join  them? 


BAGGAGE. 

Checked  baggage  will  be  carried  on  a 
private  baggage  car  from  St.  Louis  on 
the  special  train.  This  will  insure  its 
getting  to  San  Francisco  when  you  do- 
not  at  about  the  same  time  you  leave. 

This  applies,  of  course,  to  baggage 
starting  with  the  train;  but  that  belong* 
ing  to  persons  coming  from  other  points 
and  joining  the  train  at  St.  Louis,  Kan- 
sas City  or  elsewhere,  will  also  be  trans- 
ferred to  our  private  baggage  car  if  it 
has  arrived  in  time  at  the  point  where 
connection  with  the  special  train  is 
made. 

Checked  baggage  will  be  transferred 
to  your  hotel  and  sent  to  your  rooms 
without  charge  or  trouble  to  you,  at 
Berkeley.  All  are  advised  to  take  as 
few  trunks  as  possible — not  because  of 
inconvenience  on  the  special,  for  it  will 
be  handled  systematically  there;  but  for 
the  convenience  of  members  after  the 
party  breaks  up  for  the  return  trip. 

Hand  baggage  will  remain  in  the  per- 
sonal care  of  individuals  at  all  times. 


FROM   DR.  JOHN   L.   ROEMER. 

The  Lindenwood  College  Special  to 
the  Panama-Pacific  International  Ex- 
position is  one  of  the  biggest  advertise- 
ments that  the  College  has  ever  had. 
It  is  not  only  an  advertisement  but  it  is 
a  great  fact,  of  which  all  must  take 
notice. 

The  arrangements  are  the  most  com- 
plete of  any  trip  that  was  ever  arranged 
from  St.  Louis  to  San  Francisco.  Every 
modern  convenience  has  been  provided, 
every  attention  is  to  be  given  to  those 
who  are  on  the  special.  One  need  not 
concern  one's  self  as  to  whether  she  can 
be  accompanied,  for  our  own  chaperone 
will  be  constantly  on  the  lookout  the 
entire   time. 

I  can  commend  the  methods,  the 
plans  and  the  purposes  most  unreserv- 
edly. It  is  the  opportunity  of  a  life- 
time. 

A   PATRON'S  VIEW. 

St.   Louis,  April   6,  1915. 
To  the  committee  in  charge  of  ihe  Linden 
wood   Special   to    California. 

Allow  me  to  express  to  you  my  ap- 
preciation and  congratulations  on  the 
success  you  are  having  with  the  ar- 
rangement for  "Lindenwood  College 
Special   Train." 

I  am  particularly  pleased  that  you 
have  made  it  both  cheap  and  pleasant, 
with  the  splendid  environment  and 
chaperonage  that  you  have  provided. 
No  father  should  feel  the  least  uneasi- 
ness as  to  the  safety,  protection  and 
pleasure  of  his  wife  and  daughters. 

Again   thanking  you   for   this    splendid 

opportunity    for   my    family    to    visit   the 

Fair,   and  wishing  you  and   Lindenwood 

College   every   future    success,    I   remain, 

Yours  sincerely,

Gamma    House 


The  two  junior  National  Tan-Hel- 
lenic sororities  at  Linden  wood,  Sigma 
J ota  Chi  and  Eta  Upsilon  Gamma,  have 
tried  and  are  still  trying  to  justify  their 
usefulness  to  the  college  and  prove  that 
sororities  may  be  something  more  than 
social  organizations. 

This,  they  believe,  may  be  accomplished 
in  two  ways:  first,  by  standing  as  or- 
ganized bodies  for  the  administration  of 
the  school;  and  second,  by  setting  a 
standard   for   scholarship   in   the   school. 

In  a  school  like  Lindenwood,  where 
sororities  include  forty  per  cent  of  the 
whole  student  body  in  their  membership, 
they  necessarily  play  an  important  role. 
Must  not  their  attitude  be  in  harmony 
with  the  spirit  back  of  the  government 
of  the  institution  of  which  they  are  such 
a  vital  part?  If  not,  what  is  the  need  of 
their  position  in  the  school.  This  is  the 
question   asked   of  them    and  by  them. 

Several  years  ago  the  two  sororities 
at  Lindenwood  set  a  standard  of  scholar- 
ship for  admission  to  membership;  they 
have  kept  that  standard  and  abided  by 
it.  Not  only  do  they  require  certain 
grades  for  admittance,  but  within  each 
various  plans  are  used  to  keep  the  grades 
up  to  the  origina  standard  after  girls 
once  become  members. 

It  is  true  that  they  often  fall  short — 
far  short — of  what  they  should  like  to 
do.  It  is  true  that  individual  members 
digress  from  the  "straight  and  narrow 
path."  But  isn't  the  aim  a  worthy  one? 
We   believe   that  it   is.

SYMPHONY. 

(Suggested    by    Channing's    Symphony.) 

To  live  constantly  above  snobbery  of 
word  or  deed;  to  place  scholarship  be- 
fore social  obligations,  and  character  be- 
fore appearances;  to  be  in  the  best  sense, 
democratic  rather  than  exclusive,  and 
lovable  rather  than  popular;  to  work 
earnestly,  to  speak  kindly,  to  act  sincere- 
ly, to  choose  thoughtfully  that  course 
which  occasion  and  conscience  demand; 
to  be  womanly  always;  to  be  discouraged 
never;  in  a  word  to  be  loyal  under  any 
circumstances  to  my  fraternity  and  her 
teachings  and  to  have  her  welfare  at 
heart,  that  she  may  be  a  symphony  of 
high  purpose  and  helpfulness  in  which 
is  no  discordant  note. — Eleusis  of  Chi

ZETA  CHAPTER. 

Zeta  chapter  of  Eta  Upsilon  Gamma 
was  installed  at  Lindenwood  College  on 
May  25th,  1905.  This  was  the  sixth 
chapter  of  a  sorority  that  recently  in- 
stalled its  fourteenth  chapter,  so  that  it 
now  covers  an  area  extending  through 
the  middle  states  from  Alabama  to  Colo- 
rado. 

Zeta  chapter's  experience  of  ten  years 
of  active,  hustling  college  life  has  only 
helped  to  bring  about  the  present  flour- 
ishing condition.  Last  year  a  cozy  little 
bungalow  was  built  through  the  efforts 
of  these  Gamma  girls,  the  first  sorority 
house  to  appear  on  the  campus  of  Lin- 
denwood. This  home  with  its  pretty 
furnishings  is  quite  an  addition  to  the 
attractiveness  of  the  college  and  shows 
the  sorority's  interest  and  faith  in  the 
future  "Wellesley  of  the  West/'

SIGMA   IOTA    CHI. 

Theta  chapter  of  Sigma  Iota  Chi  was 
established  at  Lindenwood  College  in 
the  year  1909.  Theta  has  accomplished 
much  for  a  chapter  so  recently  estab- 
lished. The  handome  little  bungalow 
situated  on  the  campus  of  Lindenwood 
is  a  good  proof  of  its  thrift.  The  house 
is  perfect  in  every  detail.  I  am  sure  it 
would  pass  the  j  udgment  of  any  con- 
noisseur, accompanied  by  more  than  a 
casual  expression  of  approval.  Every 
one  of  the  eleven  chapters  of  Sigma  Iota 
Chi  is  watching  Theta's  growth  with  in- 
terest. 

Theta  has  always  tried  to  be  a  help- 
mate to  Lindenwood,  urging  each  mem- 
ber to  create  an  influence  of  the  highest 
character.  Both  active  and  alumnae 
members  have  always  striven  to  promote 
the  welfare  of  their-  dear  Alma  Mater,

What  promises  to  be  one  of  the  most 
enjoyable  and  at  the  same  time  one  of 
the  most  noteworthy  features  of  the 
Lindenwood  College  Special  and  Linden- 
wood  College  Day,  is  the  music.  While 
changes  have  been  rapid  and  the  scholas- 
tic standard  has  been  raised  to  a  notable 
extent  in  all  departments  of  the  college 
within  the  past  few  years,  the  changes  in 
and  expansion  of  the  music  department 
has  probably  been  greater  than  in  any 
other. 

Mr.  Erman,  concert  pianist  for  Linden- 
wood, will  be  on  the  special,  playing  for 
the  school  at  the  various  stops  made  en 
route  to  the  Fair.  He  will  also  give 
several  recitals  while  on  the  coast  and 
a  number  at  various  places  on  his  return 
east. 

In  adding  Mr.  Erman  to  the  staff  at 
Lindenwood,  Dr.  Roemer  has  secured 
one  of  the  leading  concert  pianists  of 
the  country.  Born  in  St.  Louis  he 
showed  marked  musical  ability  at  an 
early  age.  After  studying  with  various 
local  musicians,  including  George  Vieh, 
formerly  of  the  Lindenwood  faculty,  and 
Aired  G.  Robyn,  (his  cousin,)  he  went  to 
Vienna  in  1894  and  studied  with  Les- 
chetizky  three  years.  Returning  to  this 
country  in  1897  he  appeared  for  several 
years  as  soloist  with  the  symphony 
orchestras  in  various  cities  and  in  recitals 
all  over  the  United  States,  finally  ac- 
cepting a  call  from  the  National  Opera 
in  Mexico  City  to  act  as  one  of  the  con- 
ductors of  that  organization,  which  posi- 


tion he  held  for  six  years.  Since  return- 
ing to  the  United  States  he  has  resumed 
his  work  as  solo  pianist.  Wherever  Mr. 
Erman  appears  he  is  always  accorded 
immediate  recognition  as  a  remarkable 
pianist.  In  his  playing  he  has  ample 
technique  at  his  command,  wonderful 
singing  tone,  and  never  loses  sight  of  the 
musical  side  of  his  art,  but  on  the  con- 
trary has  the  happy  faculty  of  making 
his  audiences  lose  sight  of  the  technical 
side  of  whatever  he  may  play  and  see 
only   the       artistic  In   other   words, 

Mr.  Erman  has  the  true  instincts  of  an 
artist. 

Mr.  Erman  will  be  assisted  in  his  con- 
certs by  Mr.  G.  Castleman  Tandy,  bary- 
tone. Mr.  Tandy  is  one  of  the  younger 
singers  of  the  country  but  is  fast  win- 
ning his  way  to  a  reputation  with  his 
big,  sympathetic  voice  and  his  artistic 
manner  of  using  it. 

Miss  Hanna  graduated  in  piano  at 
Lindenwood  under  Miss  Malen  Burnett, 
now  of  Walla  Walla,  Washington.  Later 
went  abroad  and  studied  under  Frau  Pro- 
fessor Oskar  Raif,  Prof.  Hugo  Kaun. 
and  Madame  Teresa  Emerich,  in  Berlin, 
Germany.  Miss  Hanna  has  just  com- 
pleted her  fourth  year  as  teacher  at 
Lindenwood  College.  Miss  Hanna  will 
not  only  assist  in  the  piano  work  on  the 
trip  and  Lindenwood  College  Day,  but 
will,  as  she  always  does,  lead  the  girls 
in  their  College  Songs.  Every  one  is 
invited  to  join  in  this  singing  and  catch 
the  spirit  of  the  "New  Lindenwood." 


(Tune: — "The  Mining  Engineer's  Song.") 
There's   Maplewood  and   Cherry 

And  Poplars  grand  and  tall, 
And    Christmas   trees   so   merry, 

And   Elms,   and  Pines  and  all, 
But  all   the   trees  you  mention 

To  us  would  not  seem  good, 
For  there's   only  one  we  cherish, 

And  that   is   LINDENWOOD. 
Oh    Lindenwood,    oh    Lindenwood, 

You    are    the    one    we    love. 
Oh    Lindenwood,   oh    Lindenwood, 

x\ll   other   trees    above, 
You   make   the   campus   shady, 

For   every   one   we   know, 
So    we    hope    you'll    keep    your   head    up 
high 

And  grow  and  grow   and  grow. 


LINDENWOOD  HYMN. 
(Tune:— Recessional — De  Koven.) 

"School  of  our  mothers,  in  days  of  yore 

Goal  of  their  found  ambitions  long, 
Within  the  portals  of  thy  door, 

Ideals    were    formed    and    wills    made 
strong. 
Thy  honored  rule  was  ever  good, 

Old    Lindenwood,   Dear  Lindenwood. 
On  girls  that  come  and  girls  that  go, 

On  all  that  walk  beneath  thy  shade, 
A  heaven  sent  gift  wilt  thou  bestow; 

A  graceful   and  a  gracious  maid 
With  brain  for  power  and  heart  for  good; 

Old    Lindenwood,   Dear  Lindenwood. 


FROM  MRS.  McDEARMON. 

April  28,  J915. 
730  Clara  Ave,, 

St.  Louis,  Mo. 
Dear    Girls :- 

Isn't  it  grand  that  we  are  really  going 
on  the  Lindenwood  Special  to  the  Fair? 

But  the  always  present  question  as  to 
what  to  wear  now  confronts  us,  and  I 
am  glad  to  say  that  I  have  an  authorita- 
tive statement  "from  headquarters"  to 
give  you.  A  friend  who  has  lived  in 
San   Francisco  many   seasons   writes: 

"And  now  about  the  Exposition: 
Whatever  you  do,  be  sure  to  bring 
plenty  of  warm  things,  all  of  you.  San 
Francisco   is   in   California  all   right,   but 


it  is  also  on  the  shore  of  the  Pacific 
Ocean,  and  the  trade  winds, — strong, 
steady,  cool  winds, — will  be  blowing 
every  day;  there  will  be  fogs  coming  in, 
perhaps;  and  there  will  certainly  be  no 
chance  in  the  world  to  wear  real  sum- 
mer things.  Never  once  do  we  desert 
the  coat-suit,  and  there  are  many  days 
during  the  so-called  summer  months 
when,  over  the  coat  of  one's  tailored 
suit,  a  fur  collar  is  needed.  Most  every- 
one wears  light  underwear  (knee  and 
elbow  lenght)  all  the  year  round,  and 
no  one  ever  goes  without  the  coat  to 
the  suit,  for  except  right  in  the  direct 
sunshine  it  is  chilly  enough  to  make  one 
glad  to  be  wrapped.  A  heavy  motor- 
veil,  to  keep  one's  hat  and  hair  on, 
should  be  part  of  the  outfit.  No  white 
dresses  will  be  needed  for  anything,  for, 
if  you  want  to  dress  up,  a  light,  dressy 
afternoon  frock  of  silk  or  crepe  de  Chine 
would  be  more  in  line  with  what  is  worn 
out  here;  and  in  fact,  pretty  waists  with 
one's  tailored  suit  would  be  quite  all 
that  is  necessary.  Be  sure  to  wear  a  hat 
that  will  stay  on,  for  the  winds  are  high 
and  steady,  every  day.  You  won't  need 
an  umbrella  at  all,  and  a  parasol  is 
entirely  superfluous  for  the  sun  is  just 
what  you  want  to  have.  It  may  sound 
funny  to  speak  of  the  danger  of  your 
being  chilly  in  California  in  June,  but 
there  is  a  penetrating  quality  to  the  air 
out  here  which  goes  right  through  one, 
and  that's  why  everybody  walks  on  the 
sunny  side  of  the  street,  and  why  ad- 
vertisements always  say  "nice  sunny 
apartments,"  etc.  Out  of  the  direct  sun, 
the  chill  is  there;  and  this  in  spite  of 
the  profusion  of  flowers  and  green  things 
all  a-growing  and  a-blowing  every- 
where." 

And  the  Official  Guide  Book  has  the 
following: 

"Visitors  to  San  Francisco  from 
Eastern,  Middle  Western  and  Southern 
states  should  note  that  the  temperature 
here  the  year  round  is  about  that  of 
April  or  early  May  in  New  York,  Lon- 
don, or  Chicago.  Do  not  come  clad  for 
a  hot  Eastern  summer.  Light  overcoats 
and  wraps  are  always  in  demand  in  the 


INSIDE  INN  HOTEL,  Where  Banquet  Will  Be  Held 


UTAH  HOTEL,  SALT  LAKE  CITY 


evening".  From  April  to-  November 
limbrellas  may  safely  be  left  at  home. 
Trade  winds  blow  all  summer  and  fogs 
are  heavy." 

Arrangements  for  the  "Lindenwood 
Special"  have  been  perfected  through 
Mr.  W.  A.  Chamberlin,  of  St.  Louis,  as 
tour  manager. 

Mr.  Chamberlin  is  thoroughly  ex- 
perienced in  directing  such  work.  He 
is  particularly  well  known  to  many  in 
St.  Louis  and  vicinity  by  reason  of  his 
having  had  personal  charge  of  the  vari- 
ous trips  of  the  St.  Louis  Business  Men's 
League  to   Panama. 

Were  Mr.  Chamberlin  a  "real  Linden- 
wood  girl"  he  could  not  show  greater 
interest  and  care  than  he  is  now  exercis- 
ing for  the  welfare  of  the  "Lindenwood 
College  Special"  and  all  it  includes.  The 
Committee  feels  it  is  to  be  congratulated 
in  securing  his  services. 

Accommodations  have  been  secured 
for  the  party  at  the  best  hotels  in  the 
West,  and  the  best  Pullman  equipment 
obtainable  has  been  ordered  for  the 
train.  In  a  similar  manner  all  other  de- 
tails of  the  trip  have  received  expert 
attention. 

And  while  extravagant  expenditure  has 
been  avoided,  the  best  service  has  been 
engaged  in  every  direction.  Comfort, 
freedom  from  worry  and  annoyances  and 
a  trip  that  old  and  young  will  always 
remember  with  pleasure — these  are  the 
things  that  have  had  first  attention. 

This  will  be  a  crowded  travel  year. 
The  record  up  to  date  indicates  that  the 
Exposition  attendance  is  going  to  be 
greater — even! — than  optimistic  Cali- 
fornia had  predicted.. 


"Lindenwood  College  Special"  travelers- 
need  not  worry  about  these  things.  Ex- 
perienced direction  and  painstaking  ad- 
vance arrangements  of  every  detail  will 
make  their  trip  one  of  pleasure  and  en- 
joyment. 

You  will  be  glad  to  know  that  "Mother 
Kirby'7  (Mrs.  Tula  Kirby),  matron  of 
Lindenwood  for  ten  years  past  is  among 
cur  party. 

In  addition  to  Mrs.  Kirby's  motherly 
care,  we  shall  have  Miss  Linneman  as 
chaperone  of  the  Sigrnas  and  Miss  Hanna 
of  the  Gammas. 

These  popular  teachers  will  have  a 
general  oversight  not  only  of  their 
Sorority  girls,  but  of  any  who  may  be 
in    the    party   without    their   parents. 

Furthermore,  the  members  of  the  Com- 
mittee will  always  be  on  hand  to 
chaperone,  advise,  entertain  and  call  the 
roll." 

With  all  good  wishes  for  each  and  all, 
I   am, 

Yours    in    anticipation, 

Mary    I.    McDearmon. 

THEY  WANT  US  TO  VISIT  THEM. 

Mrs.  M.  I.  McDearmon, 
730  Clara  Avenue. 
St.  Louis,  Mo. 
Dear  Madame :- 

I  am  advised  by  Dr.  J.  L.  Roemer  of 
Lindenwood  College  that  he  has  already 
forwarded  my  letter  to  your  address  and 
suspect  it  has  already  reached  you. 

While  I  may  not  be  able  to  add  any- 
thing to  the  contents  of  the  letter  to 
Dr.  Roemer  I  take  this  opportunity  of 
extending  to  you  our  invitation  to  ar- 
range   a   stop    over   here    in    our    city    as 


you  go  to  tlie  expositions  in  California 
and  Lindenwood  "reunion"  on  the  coast. 
I  am  sure  all  members  of  your  party 
will  thoroughly  enjoy  every  minute  of 
their  stay  here  and  will  want  to  prolong 
their  visit  or  come  again.  I  hope  to 
hear  from  you  that  you  have  found  it 
possible  to  visit  our  city.  When  you 
finally  determine  upon  your  itinerary,  I 
should  like  to  hear  from  you.  If  you 
desire  further  information,  please  advise 
me. 

Very  truly  yours, 

C.    C.    Canady, 

Secretary. 
The  Lindenwood  College  Special  will 
stop   at   Glenwood   Springs   long   enough 
tor  the  girls  to  take  a  dip  in  the  pool.

Dear  Sir:  — 

It  will  be  agreeable  to  the  Missouri 
Commissioners  to  the  Panama- Pacific  In- 
ternational Exposition  for  the  "Linden- 
wood College  Reunion1'  to  have  use  of  the 
Missouri  Building  on  June  30th  at  the 
Panama-Pacific  Exposition  for  the  purpose 
of  holding  meetings. 

We  trust  that  you  will  have  a  good 
crowd  in  attendance. 

Shall  be  very  glad  to  have  your 
pupils  and  others  visit  the  Missouri  Exhib- 
its in  the  Palace  of  Education,  Palace  of 
Mines,  Palace  of  Horticulture  and  Palace 
of  Agriculture. 

Very  cordially  yours,

HOTEL     SHATTUCK, 
BERKELEY  CALIFORNIA 


HOTEL— BERKELEY. 

The  Shattuck  Hotel,  Berkeley,  at 
which  the  Lindenwood  Special  party 
will  be  accommodated,  is  one  of  the  best 
on  the  Pacific  Coast.  It  is  only  five 
stories  high  and  built  of  steel  and  con- 
crete, with  solid  concrete  floors — an  ab- 
solutely fire-proof  structure. 

Berkeley  is  "in  the  shadow  of  the 
University  of  California."  The  Shat- 
tuck reflects  that  influence.  The  hotel 
has  no  bar,  and  in  every  way  its  char- 
acter  is   splendid. 

Berkeley  is  just  across  the  bay  from 
San  Francisco.  Direct  car  and  ferry 
lines  may  be  taken  to  San  Francisco, 
or  to  the  Exposition  grounds  direct 
without  going  to  San  Francisco.  Serv- 
ice is  exceptional:  Berkeley  expects  to 
be  in  better  shape  as  to  transportation 
to  and  from  the  Exposition  than  San 
Francisco.  Round  trip  tickets  (one 
daily  to  the  Exposition  or  to  San  Fran- 
cisco) will  be  furnished  members  of  the 
Lindenwood   party  without   charge. 


RETURN   ROUTES. 

Railroad  tickets  included  on  the 
Lindenwood  trip  are  good  without  ad- 
ditional charge  to  return  over  any  direct 
route  which  the  individual  may  have 
selected  BEFORE  STARTING. 

These  "direct"'  routes  may  be  broadly 
described  as: 

To  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego  from 
San  Francisco,  then  back  to  San  Fran- 
cisco and  home  as  you  went  out;  or 

To  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego,  then 
back  to  San  Francisco,  then  home 
through  Ogden  over  the  Southern 
Pacific;  or 

To  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego,  then 
over  the  S.   P.,  L.   A.   &  S.   L.   Ry.   (Salt 


Lake  Route)  through  Salt  Lake  City; 
or 

To  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego,  then 
home  over  the  Santa  Fe;  or 

To  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego,  then 
home  over  the  Southern   Pacific;   or 

To  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego,  then 
home  over  the  Southern  Pacific  and 
Rock  Island   through   El  Paso. 

STEAMER  RIGHTS.— Steamer  may 
be  used  between  San  Francisco  and  Los 
Angeles  on  tickets  used  with  this  train 
only  under  these  conditions  (without 
additional  charge)  : 

1.  When  passenger  is  returning  via 
steamer  to  San  Francisco,  then  East 
through  Salt  Lake  over  the  Western 
Pacific  (the  route  on  which  you  will 
have  gone  out) ;   or 

2.  When  passenger  is  returning  from 
Los  Angeles  through  Salt  Lake  City 
over  the  S.  P.,  L.  A.  &  S.  L.  Ry.  (Salt 
Lake  Route). 

San  Diego  is  NOT  included  free  on 
tickets  which  use  steamer  between  San 
Francisco   and    Los    Angeles. 

Intention  of  taking  steamer  must  be  in- 
dicated when  reservations  are  made. 

NOTE.  —  Accommodations  will  be 
guaranteed  on  these  steamers  ONLY 
when  member  has  made  reservations 
and  expressed  intention  of  taking  these 
steamers  long  enough  in  advance  for 
the  Tour  Manager  to  write  to  San  Fran- 
cisco for  state  room  accommodations 
and  secure  confirmation  of  the  fact  of 
such  reservations  being  held.  The 
steamers  undoubtedly  will  be  crowded 
to  their  capacity  and  it  would  seem  en- 
tirely inadvisable  to  wait  until  getting 
there  to  make  reservations  for  any  spe- 
cific  date. 

NORTHERN  ROUTES.— There  i  s 
an  additional  charge  of  517.50  on  tickets 
returning  through  Portland,  and  these  do 
not  include  San  Diego  except  at  a  still  fur- 
ther cost  of  |4.00. 


NOTABLE  SIDE  TRIPS. 

Yosemite  is  reached  from  Merced, 
California,  the  rail  rate  from  that  point 
tor  the  round  trip,  including  stage  fare 
from  El  Portal,  being-  $18.50  at  the  date 
of  this  publication.  Merced  is  on  the 
Valley  Lines  of  both  Santa  Fe  and 
Southern    Pacific. 

The  Grand  Canyon  is  reached  from 
Williams,  Arizona,  at  an  additional  cost 
for  round  trip  railroad  fare  of  $7.50. 
Williams  is  on  the  Santa  Fe. 

Glacier  National  Park  is  reached  over 
the  Great  Northern. 

Yellowstone  is  reached  direct  at  the 
Northern  entrance  over  the  Northern 
Pacific;  or  by  side  trip  from  Salt  Lake 
over  the  Oregon  Short  Line  at  an  ad- 
ditional charge  of  $12.25  for  railroad 
fare    for    the    round    trip. 

RATES      FROM      POINTS      OTHER 
THAN   ST.   LOUIS. 

Those  joining  the  party  at  Kansas 
City  will  pay  $9.00  less  than  the  St. 
Louis  rate — and  are  invited  to  and  in- 
cluded at  the  "Get-Acquainted  Break- 
fast" at  the  Baltimore  Hotel  the  morn- 
ing  of  June    25. 

Persons  living  outside  of  either  St. 
Louis  or  Kansas  City  will  usually  find 
it  an  advantage  to  buy  their  railroad 
ticket  for  the  entire  trip  to  California 
and  return  from  their  home  town. 
Wherever  this  is  an  advantage  it  will 
be  arranged,  but  no  railroad  tickets 
should  be  purchased  without  first  con- 
ferring with  the  Tour  Manager  through 
Mrs.  McDearmon  regarding  the  rout- 
ing. 

Rates  from  points  other  than  St.  Louis 
will  vary  according  to  difference  in  railroad 
and  Pullman  rates. 


THROUGH   THE   YELLOW^ 
STONE. 

It  was  originally  intended  that  the 
Lindenwood  College  Special  party 
should  break  up  at  San  Francisco.  Later 
the  Los  Angeles  sidetrip  was  arranged 
for  those  completing  all  preliminary  ar- 
rangements on   or  before   May   15. 

Many  members  of  the  party  have 
asked  to  have  a  homeward  trip  ar- 
ranged, and  many  want  to  see  the  Yel- 
lowstone. This  trip  is  offered,  there- 
fore, and  those  desiring  it  should  so 
state  at  once. 

Those  not  caring  to  return  in  this 
manner  may  still  come  home  direct,  as 
originally  planned,  and  a  direct  trip  in 
charge  .of  one  of  the  chaperones  will  be 
available    for    unaccompanied   ladies^ 

Details  of  the  Yellowstone  trip  are 
now  practically  completed  and  those  de- 
siring to  return  through  the  Park  are 
requested  to  write  Mrs.  McDearmon  at 
at  once. 

This  Yellowstone  party  will  be  amply 
chaperoned  and  the  rate  will  include,  (in 
addition  to  the  expenses  through  Yel- 
lowstone), railroad,  Pullman,  transfer 
and  other  expenses,  except  meals  on 
diners,  from  Los  Angeles  to  St.  Louis. 
A  Short  stop  will  be  made  at  Denver. 


EXTRAS. 

Your  ticket  covers  all  essential  ex- 
penses other  than  return  Pullman  and 
meals  (and  special  meals  are  included  as 
follows:  Breakfast,  Kansas  City;  break- 
fast, Colorado  Springs;  luncheon,  Salt 
Lake  City;  breakfast  each  morning  at 
San  Francisco).  Return  Pullman  is  not 
included,  since  cost  will  vary  according 
to  route  selected.  Direct  from  Los 
Angeles  or  San  Francisco  to  St.  Louis

Important. 

The  Yellowstone  is  going  to  be 
crowded  this  year.  Reservations  have 
been   made  for  this  party. 

Inasmuch  as  investigation  has  shown 
(he  necessity  of  making  these  advance 
reservations  for  the  party,  persons 
wanting  to  make  this  trip  will  readily 
recognize  the  service  involved.  All  who 
are  coming  hack  with  this  party  are, 
therefore,  urged  to  so  inform  Mrs.  Mc- 
Dearmon  at  the  earliest  possible  mo- 
ment. If  a  reasonable  number  have  not 
roistered  for  this  trip  on  or  before 
May  15  it  will  be  abandoned,  as  far  as 
an  organized,  chaperoned  party  is  con- 
cerned, and  those  who  may  have  reg- 
istered  for  it   will  be  so  notified. 

It  may  be  stated  that  this  proviso  is 
inserted  rather  as  a  matter  of  form  (in 
order  to  avoid  certain  complications  on 
accommodations  held  after  May  15  and 
not  taken),  for  the  demand  which  has 
caused  the  trip  to  be  arranged  seems 
even  at  this  writing  to  be  sufficient  to 
practically    guarantee    the   party. 

Camps  In  Yellowstone. 

The  trip  through  the  Yellowstone  will 
be  via  the  Wylie  Permanent  Camps. 
1  hese  camps  have  been  m  operation  for 
many  years,  and  are  under  government 
;  r.nervision. 

These  are  not  movable  camps,  but 
permanent  tent  cities,  built  at  intervals 
along  the  great  government  highway 
which  circles  the  Park.  Each  tent  is 
floored  and  has  a  stove,  with  rug  and 
bed.  The  beds  are  the  best  that  can  be 
bought. 


Camps  are  reached  each  noon  and 
night.  There  is  a  competent  matron 
with  a  corps  of  lady  assistants  (practi- 
cally all  of  whom  are  teachers  and  stu- 
dents from  the  schools  and  colleges  of 
the  country,  spending  their  vacation  in 
the  Yellowstone  in  this  manner)  at  each 
camp.  Tents  are  divided  into  one,  two 
and  four  compartments,  and  members 
of  the  party  will  be  roomed  according- 
ly,  two   to   the  compartment. 

This  trip  is  planned  as  a  great  out- 
door outing.  It  is  perfectly  safe  and 
wonderfully  educational  and  interesting. 
All  of  the  places  of  most  importance  in 
the  Park  are  to  be  visited.  Two  nights 
and  one  day  will  be  spent  at  Upper 
Geyser  Basin,  and  one  night  and  a  lit- 
tle more  than  half  a  day  at  the  Grand 
Canyon. 

Realizing  that  it  is  usually  difficult  to 
estimate  the  cost  of  an  outing  like  this. 
it  is  arranged  to  include  ALL  EX- 
PENSES, for  the  six  days  in  the  Park- 
except  tips  —and  no  tips  are  necessary 
in    the   Wylie    Camps. 

ADDRESS  OF    PRESIDENT   JOHN  L. 
R1EMER,  BEFORE  THE  ST.  LOUIS 
LINDENWOOD    CLUB     HAMIL- 
TON    HOTEL.     MARCH    26, 
1915,     ST.    LOUIS.    MO. 

Mrs.    President   and   Ladies: — 

At  your  request  I  am  here  this  after- 
noon to  say  a  few  words  in  regard  to 
the  educational  standing  of  Lindenwood 
College.  I  assure  you  it  is  a  pleasure 
to  be  present  and  discuss  the  topic  so 
dear  to  you.  For  nearly  eighty-four 
years  your  Alma  Mater  has  borne  an 
enviable  reputation  for  scholarship. 
There  is  a  saying,  based  upon  Scripture 
and  fact,  "'By  their  fruits  you  shall 
know  them."  Lindenwood  is  known  by 
the     achievements     of     its     product.      In 


WYLIE  CAMPS   IN  YELLOWSTONE. 


DR.  JOHN   L.  ROEMER. 

every  sphere  of  woman's  life  the  Lin- 
den wood  girl  has  brought  honor  to  her 
Alma  Mater.  For  educational  qualifi- 
cation she  has  never  needed  an  apology. 

With  the  progress  of  the  world  Lin- 
denwood has  kept  apace.  When  Mrs. 
Sibley  in  1831  deeded  120  acres  of  land 
in  a  forest  of  linden  trees  near  the  city 
of  St.  Charles  she  had  visions  of  an  in- 
stitution which  would  give  to  young 
women  an  adequate  equipment  for  life's 
lesponsibilities.  Her  dreams  have  been 
more  than  realized.  New  visions  of  a 
still  greater  Lindenwood  are  upon  us. 
It  was  the  privilege  of  Mrs.  Sibley  to 
witness  the  material  progress  of  the 
School  from  a  log  school  house  to  a 
large  dormitory  equipped  for  the  most 
efficient  educational  advantages  of  her 
time.  Were  she  privileged  to  come 
back  in  the  material  form  I  am  sure  she 
would  rejoice  to  see  the  completed  hall 
named  in  her  honor  and  commend  the 
best  of  her  worthy  successors  in  mak- 
ing possible  the  splendid  structures  of 
Jubilee,  Butler  and  Margaret  Halls.  On 
the  campus  today,  in  addition  to  these 
buildings,  are  Science  Hall,  Art  Pot- 
tery, a  central  heating  plant  with  huge 
boilers  to  heat  all  the  buildings  and  fur- 
nish hot  water  to  all  parts  of  every  dor- 
mitory. The  new  Gymnasium  and  the 
magnificent  Natatorium  would  all  meet 
with  her  hearty  approval. 

When  we  even  think  of  Lindenwood 
and  her  present  high  standard  and  the 
I  '-ophetic  future  we  must  associate  her 
possibilities  with  the  noble  spirits  who 
have  given  generously  of  time,  money 
and  energy:  I  fear  to  catalogue  the 
names  of  all  who  have  been  so  devoted 
to  Lindenwood  as  to  prove  their  faith 
by  their  works.  Major  Sibley  and  his 
wife  stand  first  as  founders,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  J.  C.  Watson  are  linked  with  its 
history  when  the  College  was  in  need 
of  substantial  aid,  Col.  and  Mrs.  James 
Gay  Butler  stand  prominently  in  the 
last  days  when  with  visions  of  greater 
Lindenwood  they  have  made  it  certain 
that    the    College    shall    be    to    the    West 


what  Wellesley,  Vassar  and  other  col- 
leges  for   women   are  to   the   East. 

The  educational  standing  of  the  Col- 
lege has  ever  kept  apace  of  its  material 
progress.  The  courses  offered  in  the 
Arts  and  Sciences,  Biblical  Literature, 
Home  Economics,  Music,  Art,  Expres- 
sion are  such  as  to  be  recognized  by  the 
best  colleges  of  our  country.  Articulat- 
ed with  the  University  of  Missouri,  her 
students  are  accepted  hour  for  hour  by 
the  leading  Universities.  Accredited  by 
the  North  Central  Association  of  Col- 
leges and  Secondary  Schools,  there  is 
no  question  as  to  the  continuance  of 
high  and  approved  educational  stand- 
ing. 

The  old  time  idea  of  a  "Female  Semi- 
nary," the  later  phrase,  "A  Girls'  Board- 
ing School,"  has  been  displaced  by  the 
College  idea.  At  Lindenwood  we  have 
not  a  "finishing  school"  but  a  high- 
grade  educational  institution  which  per- 
forms all  of  its  promises  as  to  require- 
ments both  for  admission  and  gradua- 
tion. The  degree  of  Associate  in  Arts 
gives  entrance  without  examination  to 
the  higher  courses  of  the  University. 
When  our  graduates  have  completed  the 
course  in  Education  the  State  gives  a 
three  years'  certificate  to  teach  in  the 
public  schools  of  Missouri,  and  this  cer- 
tificate is  being  honored  by  other  states. 
A  graduate  in  Music  with  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Music  is  accepted  as  one 
eminently  qualified  to  teach  music.  A 
diploma  from  the  Home  Economics  de- 
partment qualifies  not  only  for  a  good 
housewife  but  for  teaching  the  subject 
in  High  Schools  and  Colleges.  A  di- 
ploma in  Physical  Education  is  recog- 
nized in  the  best  schools  for  Physical 
training. 

Mrs.  Sibley  had  in  mind  the  religious 
as  well  as  mental  equipment  of  young 
ladies  who  should  attend  Lindenwood 
College.  The  purpose  of  the  founders 
has  ever  been  faithfully  carried  out.  But 
never  has  a  department  of  religious 
training  been  established  as  it  is  today. 
Bible  Study  is  required  of  all  the  stu- 
dents, unless  for  reasons  the  student  is 
excused.  In  addition  to  this  a  two 
years'  course  is  provided  for  all  who  de- 
sire to  become  efficient  workers  in  the 
home  church  or  purpose  entering  the 
field   of  Home   or   Foreign   Missions. 

Did  time  permit  I  might  go  into  de- 
tails of  the  courses  of  studv.  the 
methods  of  instruction,  the  qualifications 
of  our  teachers  before  being  admitted 
to  the  faculty,  but  suffice  it  to  be  said 
that  Lindenwood  aims  to  be  a  College 
that  is  ever  abreast  of  the  times  and  on 
equal  footing  with  the  best  of  its  kind 
in   the  world. 

Permit  me,  before  closing,  to  speak 
of  some  things  collateral  to  the  topic 
assigned,  if  not  directly  bearing  upon  it. 

The  question  of  school  government  is 
one  that  is  dear  to  all  of  us.  A  board- 
ing   school    may    be    classed    as    a    place 


for  young  ladies  who  need  special  and 
severe  regulations  to  keep  them  under 
proper  restraints.  Our  aims  are  to  be 
natural;  to  develop  strong,  self-reliant, 
noble  womanhood.  Lindenwood  is  not 
a  .school  where  you  can  do  as  you  please. 
It  has  rules  of  order,  but  it  intrusts  these 
largely  to  the  students  themselves.  In 
our  history  of  Student  Government  and 
maintenance  of  the  honor  system  the 
young  women  entrusted  to  our  care 
have  exemplified  the  wisdom  of  our 
style  of  government.  No  school  has  a 
higher  grade  of  students  enrolled  and 
none  can  boast  of  a  better  behaved  and 
more  capable  of  self-control.  All  this  is 
due  to  our  manner  of  installing  the  prin- 
ciples  of  self-government. 

Home  life  is  what  every  parent  is  in- 
terested in.  Lindenwood  strives  in 
every  way  to  take  the  place  of  the  home 
while  the  student  is  pursuing  her  Col- 
lege course.  In  every  teacher  the  stu- 
dent finds  a  friend  who  cares  for  her, 
advises  her,  sympathizes  with  her,  in- 
sists upon  the  highest  Christian  ideals. 
Her  health  is  carefully  guarded.  In 
sickness  she  is  looked  after  and  nursed 
to  health.  The  home  takes  the  place  of 
an  impersonal  institution  at  Linden- 
wood. 

Lindenwood  College  is  located  at  St. 
Charles,  Mo.,  a  suburb  of  St.  Louis. 

LETTERS    FROM    GIRLS    ON    THE 
COAST. 

My  Dear  Mrs.  McDearmon: — 

What  a  delightful  journey  the  Lin- 
denwood Special  is  to  make.  I  think 
it  will  be  quite  an  event  if  Lindenwood 
should  have  a  day  all  its  own  at  the 
San    Francisco   Exposition. 

I    wish   that   Los  Angeles   had  a   Lin- 


denwood  Club  as  St.  Louis  and  Kansas 
City  have. 

Very  cordially  yours, 
(Mrs.)    Nellie    Ingram    Baker. 
Glencairn,    Sierra    Madre,    Calif. 


My    Dear    Mrs.    McDearmon: —  v 

1  have  been  so  pleased  to  receive  the 
Bulletin  from  Lindenwood  and  have 
learned  from  it  many  interesting  things. 
When  will  you  be  in  San  Francisco,  and 
will  there  be  a  place  to  register  and 
leave  addresses?  And  can  you  tell  me 
of  any  I  might  be  interested  in  who  will 
be  there? 

(Mrs.)  Agnes  McCbrmick  Sherburne. 
219  South  C  St.,  Tacoma,  Wash. 


My   Dear    Mrs.    McDearmon: — 

We    shall    see    you     in    June     at     the 
breakfast. 

Alma  Krankhoff, 
Sec.   K.   C.   Lindenwood   Club. 
3250   Gilham  Road.         Kansas  City,  Mo. 


My  Dear  Mrs.   McDearmon: — 

We  had  not  decided  just  what  time 
we  would  go  to  the  Fair,  but  now  we 
will  be  there  for  "Lindenwood  Day". 
We  (our  family)  have  every  reason  to 
be  interested  in  the  success  of  the 
school.  My  grandmother,  my  mother 
and  my  three  sisters  and  myself  all 
having  been  pupils  there.  That,  I  think, 
is  a  record  surpassed  by  none.  Also 
the  college  owes  its  existence  in  a  great 
degree  to  the  interest  of  my  uncle, 
Samuel  S.  Watson,  who  gave  so  gen- 
erously  of  his   time  and   means. 

(Mrs.)    Jessica    Hodgman   Atkinson.

GREEK  THEATRE,  BERKELEY,  CALIFORNIA. 


SOMETHING   NEW— THE   TRAVEL 
EXPOSITION. 

Everybody  interested  in  Western 
travel  is  invited  to  visit  he  Fr^t  annual 
Travel  Exposition,  given  under  arrange- 
ments perfected  by  the  management  of 
the  Lindenwood  College  Special  Califor- 
nia tour. 

This  will  be  held  at  the  Scruggs-Van- 
dervoort-Barney  store  in  St.  Louis,  be- 
ginning May  1  and  lasting  one  week.  It 
is  open  to  all  who  care  to  attend,  regard- 
less of  whether  they  go  with  the  Lin- 
denwood party  or  not — and,  indeed,  re- 
gardless of  whether  or  not  they  visit 
California  this  year  at  all. 

The  Travel  Exposition  idea  grew  out 
of  a  need — necessity  was  the  mother  of 
invention,  as  in  most  cases. 

The  further  the  Committee  has  pro- 
gressed on  arrangements  for  the  Lin- 
denwood part}'  the  more  apparent  has 
it  become  that  there  is  a  great  deal  of 
confusion  in  the  public  mind  as  to  just 
what  is  most  worth  seeing  in  the  West 
this  year,  and  just  how  best  to  see  it.  In 
order  to  become  fully  informed  it  is 
necessary  to  visit  many  different  rail- 
roads and  devote  a  great  deal  of  time  to 
studying  the  subject.  This  is  not  prac- 
tical for  man}'-. 

Moreover,  many  hesitate  to  visit  rail- 
road offices  merely  to  get  information. 
Ticket  sellers  are  glad  to  give  informa- 
tion— anxious  to,  as  a  matter  of  fact; 
but  one  just  naturally  hates  to  bother 
them  unless  one  is  ready  to  buy. 

This  was,  perhaps,  the  thought  that 
first  suggested  the  Travel  Exposition, 
although  the  idea  broadened  as  it  de- 
veloped. Briefly  stated,  this  Travel  Ex- 
position is  a  place  where  all  the  rail- 
roads interested  in  Western  travel  are 
invited  to  display  their  "goods"  to  be 
viewed  by  all  who  care  to  come  . 

These  "goods"  will  consist  quite 
largely  of  pictures,  maps  and  descriptive 
literature,  and  they  will  be  open  for  your 
inspection   all   day. 


Representatives  of  the  various  West- 
ern railroads  will  be  on  hand  a  portion 
of  each  day  to  give  information,  and  the 
"Ask  Mr.  Foster '  information  bureau 
will  have  a  place  at  the  exposition. 

The  "Ask  Mr.  Foster"  bureau  is  a 
permanent  feature  of  the  Scruggs-Van- 
dervoort-Barney  store,  and  is  widely 
known  to  patrons  of  that  institution.  Its 
extensive  collection  of  travel  literature 
and  travel  information,  much  of  which 
it  is  difficult  to  obtain  elsewhere,  will 
be   available   to   exposition  visitors. 

Every  facility  for  making  an  attractive 
travel  display  has  been  afforded  exhib- 
itors by  the  Scruggs-Vandervoort-Barney 
store.  Various  rooms  on  the  sixth  floor 
have  been  re-arranged  for  the  displays 
and  attractively  furnished.  Appropriate 
programs  have  been  planned  for  after- 
noons  during  the   exposition. 

Organized  primarily  for  the  purpose 
of  concentrating  the  attractions  of  the 
West  so  that  patrons  of  the  Lindenwood 
College  Special  can  best  determine  their 
return  routes,  the  Travel  Exposition  has 
gone  much  further  than  that. 

It  is  designed  as  an  exhibit  of  posi- 
tive information  for  all  prospective  visi- 
tors to  the  California  Expositions,  and 
for  general  travel  education.  It  is  open 
to  the  public,  is  entirely  free  and  is  cer- 
tain to  be  vastly  entertaining  and  infor- 
mative. Don't  miss  it — and  go  every 
afternoon,  if  you  can. 

The  railroad  and  steamship  exhibits 
will  not  have  the  entire  stage  by  any 
means.  The  Exposition  will  be  on  the 
sixth  floor  of  the  Scruggs-Vandervoort- 
Barney  store,  and  it  will  be  in  a  travel 
setting. 

Every  sort  and  condition  of  travel  ac- 
cessory will  be  on  display,  ranging  from 
drinking  cups  to  bags,  trunks  and  travel 
clothing:.

THE   LINDENWOOD   COLLEGE 
SPECIAL    TRAIN. 

While  much  time  and  study  has  been 
given  to  the  arrangements  for  Hotels, 
sightseeing  trips  and  special  functions 
enroute  and  at  the  Fair,  the  Committee 
has  not  overlooked  the  fact  that  the 
Lindenwood  College  party  travels  about 
:^000  miles  in  Pullmans  across  the  west. 
If  there  is  any  '  ir  st"  as  to  plans— "the 
fun  and  good  times"  on  the  train  will 
be   the   best. 

The  train  is  made  up  of  a  baggage  car, 
five  Pullmans,  observation  car,  and  diner. 

One  of  the  drawing  rooms  is  set  aside 
as  the  office  which  carries  all  the  modern 
conveniences  for  the  welfare  of  our 
party. 

The  office  is  the  headquarters  of  the 
Executive  Committee.  Here  you  will 
find  the  Remington  typewriter  (the  offi- 
cial typewriter  of  the  Panama-Pacific 
International  Exposition.)  This  type- 
writer will  be  at  the  service  of  our  party. 
In  the  office  will  be  kept  all  the  tickets 
and  no  one  will  be  bothered  with  "show 
your  ticket." 

The  Executive  Committee  that  has 
aided  in  promoting  the  trip  will  go 
to  the  Coast — and  attend  personally  to 
every  detail  of  the  journey — so  your 
trip  is  a  house  party  from  St.  Louis  to 
SanFrancisco. 

Xow  which  car  do  you  want  to  join? 
Each  has  its  own  Committee  serving 
with  the  Executive  Committee  in  order 
to  make  every  hour  a  pleasant  and 
happy   one. 

"The  President's  Car." 

"The    Sigma    Sorority    Car." 

"The    Gamma    Sorority    Car." 

"St  Louis  Car." 

"Kansas   City   Car." 

The  trip  is  truly  to  be  a  vacation, 
when  all  cares  and  worries  arc  left  be- 
hind, and  the  spirit  of  the  "New  Linden- 
wood"  prevails.
